I have a subcutaneous mass at the left detoit part of my harm for over five years now. I was not really concerned about it until now that i find out that it's getting biga.

My question is that how long can cancer live in an individual b4 it starts to make him sick? because i'm hail and hearty. I wana knw if cancer can kill sm1 within five years if the pesn doesn't take any treatment.

It depends on the type of cancer it is, the grade and the stage. An angressive cancer, like a lung cancer, might have killed more than half of its sufferers, whereas, a less aggressive one, like a melanoma, might take much longer time, all other things being equal.

You should go to a hospital and have it checked up. Usually, an excision biopsy will be done for u after necessary work up. This entails a surgical removal of the mass, and taking the removed tissue to the histology lab in order to know if it is cancerous or not, and the stage and grade of the cancer.
